Running 45:00 [3] 8.5 km (5:18 / km)

Recovery jog. I was so tired in yesterday's long that I had to go back to Thierry's pyramid of performance. The missing element is definitely rest. So today and tomorrow will be focused on recovery before traveling to Huelva.

Note

Natalia Gemperle's talk on orienteering technique: mainly stayed within the philosophy of simplification and searching for visibility. Interestingly, she did differentiate between the amount of detail men and women must read. In other words, she believes that men must simplify more than women because they generally run faster.

"In the forest we need to create our lines in the terrain with the basic visible features. In sprint, those lines already exist and we just need to choose them."

"I use a baseplate compass to better hold to an azimuth."

"I do this in terrain where you can run straight. I tried this in Switzerland and I wished I had a thumb compass."

"I use a large baseplate so I can shoot a better azimuth."

"The further north you go, the slower the needle works."

"I would never take a compass made for Scandinavia to France. That would be a disaster for me."

Pretty slow going in the Pyrenees because of the snow. Also wanted to keep the pace pretty relaxed. Super steep.

Learning loads at the MOC camp. Very excited to train the next generation of American sprinters. Does this count as professional development?
